Blix is a blue sphynx and Spike is a pink one, and they are both much eviler than they look. They are on a golden porches coloured seat, looking upwards, Blix is being regal by crushing the cat bed beneath he repose, and Spike is peeping out from the two tier wicker basket. Her eyes are green, her face is black. His eyes are blue and his nose is black on a white muzzle.

Ah, many of the dogs biggest fans only got to meet them over the internet. His spirit’s always around, too.

Also, I now have two vaguely cat-shaped demons, if that’s any consolation… ☺️

It is. I promise you. Technically, aesthetically and emotionally

Oh, that is just beautiful. Absolutely brilliant. Truth and beauty combined, which is why it’s never smart to piss off an artist.

You do form so well, it’s a delight to see. Even if cuckoos are bastards… The roses are perfect too.

Oh that’s lovely! I had a brief foray into bird paintings many years ago, and am promising myself to try again one day soon. Not with anything like that level of sheer joy, tho.

Do please come over and see us, that would be amazing! It’d be an absolute delight to see you in person.

Yes, ma’am. I just needed a hobby, and you know, I was there… I *am* very old now. I can fall apart if I like!

Actually now I’ve found Supernatural, that’s my new hobby.

But how are you? I was thinking about you not long ago too. How are you doing? What have you been up to? ☺️

That’s always a good recommendation ☺️

I tried it, but it didn’t take. It’s still on my list of things to look at again tho. Do please send more recs too ☺️

I hereby encourage you. Just because I need more people to squee at, who will understand why I have to sometimes resort to tortured guineapig noises.

And I’m up to the tunnel episode, and omg it’s so tense - and I know what happens…

EXACTLY! Dammit, why don’t more people recognise this!

Do let me know next time, but I hope you had fun!

I absolutely adore Supernatural. If anyone had said that it had this much Angel content, sexual tension, violence, magic, angst & torture, I would have been on it sooner.

No other series has made me shout at the screen, cackle, or weep like this

You put that beautifully. Tho I balk at ‘dreadful’. Some episodes I’m skipping over, yes, but that’s mostly just because they’re monster of the week and, well, have no Cas content. Or Jack. I’m up to series 13 again now, and skipping markedly fewer episodes.

Anyway, tell me of Down to Agincourt…

Hi, you! ☺️

Honestly, I don’t think any of the small strangled squeaks I make over Cas being asleep on a sofa should be shared with anyone. I have the vestiges of dignity left. Probably…

I also realise the amount of squeaking/shouting/swearing doesn’t get any less, second watch through. I *know* what’s going to happen dammit, but I still have to go “Nooooooooo…!”, “Caaa-aaassss…!”, “FFS DEAN!” and “Ohgod, Sam…” quite a lot.

I can never watch #Supernatural in company I now realise.

Hey, you! I’m very intermittent on the socials, but I go through phases of catching up again. I’ve never really learned the ways of Bluesky. My policy has always been barrel in and post shit, and is even more so now lol. Hope you’re doing well! ☺️

I’m not obsessed, it’s just a new low impact hobby, which is a very healthy and normal thing. Yes.

I was a bit bereft after finishing all of #Supernatural, but I’ve found solace in just going straight back in.
Ok, so I’m mostly watching the #Castiel episodes this time round. I love Sam, Dean and Bobby and even Crowley too, but Cas is just a thing of beauty.
I blame @mishacollins.bsky.social.

I’ve found a new hobby that I’m able to keep up with, without expending too much energy. It’s called Supernatural, and I’ve watched it all now, so I’m watching it again 😬
Well, actually, the Cas episodes mostly. Ah, dear… But it’s making me very happy. Hope all is good with you! ☺️

Things are ok, mostly. Still playing symptom bingo and seeing what diagnoses come up. Still full of gallstones but no flare ups since December, so that’s good. I might get an operation on my elbow and see if that fixes my cubital tunnel. But doing alright all things considered. Cats still demons 👍🏻

Courting Supremacy The Patriarchy are at it again….

I wrote a thing. I may even write another one… #TransRightsAreHumanRights #DefendTransRights

There are loads of butch trans women and camp trans men, and loads of people who express gender in their own individual way.

And to get a GRC, you have to demonstrate that you have lived as your chosen gender for 2 years. Which ridiculously still means conforming to gender stereotypes 🙄

I have also been trying every flavour of Go To Sleep juice, for whilst I have been sleeping a whole lot, I’d like to start doing it at nights, and being awake in the daytime.

Fewer bizarre and disturbing dreams would be welcomed, too.

I’m going to give Bluesky another go, because my social media bar is now set very low, & I need to have an idea what the Sweet Holy FUCK is going on in the world.

Turns out looking at Facebook and doomscrolling Reddit do not provide a balanced overview of world events. But I do have loads of memes!

It was fun, and that pretty much covered all of December in the very lovely Whiston Hospital. I managed to total 3 MRIs, 1 CT with contrast, 3 x rays and I’m hoping I now qualify for a rewards card of some sort.

Since then, I have mostly been asleep. I think it’s safer.

Hello Mx Bluesky, how are you all doing?

Yeesh. Ok, well, the best revenge is surviving, right? You’re doing great and I appreciate you.

I managed to go into hospital with gallstones, get diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, then a lung infection, then a collapsed lung, then a ruptured ACL 😬

Letter from Mersey Care NHS Trust about the discontinuation of the Long Covid Service, which will now finish from the start of April 2025, due to no longer receiving national funding. Key phrases include “We understand that this change may cause you some concern,” and the text goes on to include links to contact local LC services in the meantime, and a link for further information about what’s happening and why.

Well, I suppose this is exactly what we should expect from a Tory governm—- Wait a goddamn minute!

So, this is what we’re doing is it? Well that’s just fucking great…

It’s like Radicalisation for Dummies, and I hate that it keeps damn working. It’s exactly what happened to L*nehan, and it’s deeply tied into people who can’t accept that they might be wrong about anything.

For anyone wondering about the Cass Report, this post on Reddit summed it up nicely for me:

#CassReport #LGBTQIA #CassReview #Trasrights

TSN statement on Cass Review Final Report We urge politicians to take caution in light of expert concerns about the integrity and methods of the report

This is doing some mild numbers so please come for the dunking on transphobes, but stay for this statement from Trans Safety Network on the Cass Review

A white woman with blonde hair sits in a crappy airport wheelchair that she has to be pushed around in, despite being an athlete in town for a national tournament. The look on her face reflects her frustration.

HERE WE FREAKING GO AGAIN

I’m stuck in the Richmond VA Airport, where I have flown for the @NWBA’s National Championships

WITHOUT EITHER OF THE WHEELCHAIRS I BOARDED WITH IN LOS ANGELES

@AmericanAir how did you lose ALL my mobility for the weekend?????
